Patch 8.1 Hotfixes for December 19th - Smoochums Model Fixed

Today's hotfixes include a fix for the Tenerone cat model, as well as the removal of quest and reputation requirements to enter Assedio di Boralus and King's Rest.\r\rSmoochums received a model change at the start of Patch 8.1, which removed his unique adorable flat face. With hotfixes today, his old model is restored. Justice for Smoochums!\r\r\r\rClasses\r\r Monk\r \r Mistweaver\r \r Casting Nebbia Curativa on a target in combat will now also immediately place the Monk in combat.\r \r \rPaladino\r \rInquisitore Implacabile (Azerite Trait) now benefits from free casts caused by Intento Divino or Potenza Empirea (Azerite Trait).\r Retribution\r \rCrociata now benefits from free Tempesta Divina casts caused by Potenza Empirea (Azerite Trait)\r \r \rSacerdote\r \r Holy\r \rSpirito Custode should no longer activate from damage that cannot kill the target (such as a Brewmaster's Stagger).\r \r \rDungeons\r\r The reputation and questing requirements to enter the Siege of Boralus and Kings' Rest dungeons have been removed.\r The Battle for Azeroth Dungeons weekly event should now display the proper rewards.\rTempio di Sethraliss\r \r The visuals for Galvazzt's Galvanizzazione beam should now be more responsive.\r \rPlayer versus Player\r\r The PvP quest \u201cContro ogni avversità\u201d can no longer be completed while in a raid. \r \r Developers' Note: The intent of this quest is to incite aggression amongst players on the under represented faction throughout war mode. Allowing it to be completed in a raid focused too much of that aggression in one place in one large group. This change spreads the fight out into more parts of the world.\r \r The weekly PvP Call to Arms quests can no longer be completed while in a raid, and do not count kills on players below level 120 or with the Bersaglio Disonorevole debuff active.\r Resolved an issue that prevented players from earning the non-seasonal Challenger, Duelist, Rival, and Gladiator titles from Battle for Azeroth: Season 1 rank achievements.\rIsola della Conquista\r \r Siege Vehicles and Bombs no longer deal damage to enemy commanders.\r \rCavaliere della Morte\r \r Unholy\r \r Fixed an issue that caused Ultima Sorpresa (Azerite Trait) to deal less damage than intended when engaged in combat with enemy players.\r \r \r Druid\r \r Fixed a bug that caused Spirito Vivace (Azerite Trait) to grant less Intellect than intended when engaged in combat with enemy players.\r Restoration\r \r Fixed an issue that caused Primavera to consume additional mana when casting Crescita Rigogliosa.\r \r \rCacciatore\r \r Survival\r \r Fixed an issue that caused Veleno Latente (Azerite Trait) to deal less damage than intended when engaged in combat with enemy players.\r \r \rMago\r \r Arcane\r \rAnomalia Temporale will now correctly grant Arcane Charges when it activates.\r \r \r Monk\r \r Windwalker\r \rTigre Alfa (PvP Talent) now properly affects 's duration.\r \r \rAchievements\r\r Winter Veil\r \r Alliance players can now properly target Gran Supremo Faucisaure for the \u201cRe del softair\u201d Achievement.\rAeroplano Radiocomandatos can once again damage each other. In Sella into the Danger Zone!\r \rProfessions\r\rRunografia\r \r Fixed an issue causing some Paladino (Sacro)s to see the Glifo - Vendetta Alata visual regardless of whether the glyph was active or not.\r \rMissioni Mondiali\r\r Darkshore\r \r Several World Quests in Darkshore have had their respawn rates adjusted.\r \rQuests\r\r Players who have completed the Tyrande's Ascension storyline on at least one character can now see the Portal to Darkshore on other level 120 characters.\r Using Sky Shards to remove Alani the Stormborn's Nimbus Shroud will now immediately tap Alani.\rPet Battles\r\rTenerone is once again using the correct cat model.\r

A change I noticed (that isn't on this list as far as I can see) is that the ground effects have changed or Soggoth and Graeme in Darkshore. When they cast their shadowbolt volley, it woul dplace black splashy-foamy gunk on the ground. They changed this to a dark blue glowing gunk circle now. It happened yesterday at some point because I saw the black gunk on two toons in the morning, but have seen nothing but blue gunk since then. (same PC, so no graphic quality change to make it happen)

Its great to hear that you immediately tap Alani after using your skyshards, this should of been a thing from day one but at least it has been implemented.

The reputation and questing requirements to enter the Siege of Boralus and Kings' Rest dungeons have been removed.\r\rSurprised this isn't account wide. It would make a lot more sense that way, but thats just me.\r\r\rThe PvP quest \u201c Against Overwhelming Odds\u201d can no longer be completed while in a raid.\r\r Developers' Note: The intent of this quest is to incite aggression amongst players on the under represented faction throughout war mode. Allowing it to be completed in a raid focused too much of that aggression in one place in one large group. This change spreads the fight out into more parts of the world.\r\rThe weekly PvP Call to Arms quests can no longer be completed while in a raid, and do not count kills on players below level 120 or with the Honorless Target debuff active.\r\rFinally a smart change. So many alliance just camp the Great Seal now, and its far less worth horde having warmode on, to the point where its just stupid.

Resolved an issue that prevented players from earning the non-seasonal Challenger, Duelist, Rival, and Gladiator titles from Battle for Azeroth: Season 1 rank achievements.

Does this fix the long queue times in higher MMR arenas?

The change to the "Against Overwhelming Odds" quest isnt't going to stop the raid group grief fests during Incursions.

I know to some it's a minor thing, but thanks for bringing back the old Smoochums! You could just add another ghost cat using the new model instead in my opinion.\rNot to mention that it would be nice to get all the other new cats as pets, as seen in Catherine Morgan's house in Boralus among other places.

\r\rFor that faction, now it's global.\r\rIt was global before too, I was a horde main for the majority of 8.0 then had to switch to alliance for reasons and was able to do Siege of Boralus just fine without having gotten any rep or doing any quests, this change in the hotfix means even people who haven't done the quests at all can get into the dungeons, much like the second change to Arcway and CoS in Legion.

Using Sky Shards to remove Alani the Stormborn's Nimbus Shroud will now immediately tap Alani.Only 4 expansions late since alani ninjaing has been a problems since Pandaria. Better late than never though I guess.

Players who have completed the Tyrande's Ascension storyline on at least one character can now see the Portal to Darkshore on other level 120 characters.\r\rGlad they added this! I was just complaining about this yesterday in general chat. 9 out 10 randoms in Boralus agreed - doing the full quest chain once was enough.

You can't ignore the quest because it's a friggin' bird following you around. You should be allowed to talk to it and say that you want to skip it.

I want to thank Blizzard for listening to us and reverting Smoochums back to his other form it makes me feel better that they did listen to us even though many will complain it was the wrong thing to listen to players about it did make a lot of players happy.

Portal worked and no owl followed me anymore.

I'm sorry but the whole pvp quest in raids in stupid. \r\r8.0 I used to get ganked by horde clearly in raids all over. \rBlizzard were fine with this.\r\r8.1 comes along incentives alliance to pvp and now blizzard are saying, yeah this isn't fair you shouldn't do that.\r\rI'm not normally one to cry about faction favoritism but this really. Really smacks of please don't gank our horde...
